A rural New Richland man charged with sexually assaulting a 15-year-old Albert Lea girl was arrested Wednesday night after police located him at an Albert Lea residence.

Eric Michael Dorman, 24, of 20680 67th Street in New Richland, was held in the Freeborn County jail and transported to Waseca County, where he has been charged with four counts of criminal sexual conduct, purchasing liquor for a minor and contributing to the need for protection of a minor.

Dorman and his cousin Adonis Adolph Dorman, 21, lured two Albert Lea girls, aged 14 and 15, to their rural New Richland home on April 2, according to police. The Dormans then allegedly gave the girls alcohol and repeatedly sexually assaulted them.

Adonis Dorman was arrested last week, following a high-speed chase through Waseca and Freeborn Counties that resulted in the injury of a Waseca County Deputy.

Police located Eric Dorman at a residence on the 200 block of East Clark Street Wednesday shortly after 3 p.m., said Albert Lea Assistant Police Chief Dwaine Winkels. Dorman initially refused to open the door to officers, but surrendered peacefully when officers said they would obtain a search warrant, Winkels said.
